The Press-Democrat’s Phil Barber has his list of 49ers whose stock rose and fell during the offseason workouts, and one climber who might surprise you is QB Alex Smith – one of the bustiest of the latest top pick busts.

According to Barber, “it's clear that (Smith) has greater confidence and command of Jimmy Raye's offensive system,” and though we still don’t know if he’s any good, that’s a positive development.

Barber also gets off a nice line about LB Martail Burnett: “If the NFL kept stats on getting yelled at by coaches, Burnett might be among the league leaders right now.” Yikes.
